Zaboor El-Amin was born to the parents of Wilson and Martha El-Amin on January 6, 1968 in Bogalusa, Louisiana. Mr. Zaboor transitioned from this life on October 16, 2024.

Zaboor El-Amin was a graduate of Franklinton HIgh School, the class of 1986. Shortly afterwards, he pursued a career in the United States Navy (for a few years). He continued his career as a rodbuster for Boh Brothers Construction for many years. Due to health complications, Zaboor had to retire. The Bible reminds us that “Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” Zaboor soon discovered that he could not remain at home and do nothing, he found odd jobs to keep himself occupied during the day, He soon started his own lawn-care business, and lending a helping hand to others.

On March 12, 2023, Mr. Zaboor El-Amin accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and was baptized at Bethlehem Baptist Church in Bogalusa, LA under the Pastor Christoper Matthews. This was indeed one of the most proud moments in his life. Zaboor strived to live a “Changed Life” acknowledging what the Lord has done for him.
